Topic: RE: Getting Closer to WLS

To be honest it was not a bad as I thought it was going to be. I thought I would be in severe pain and I would be hungry and grouchy...

There is pain but it is controlled ( I am a big baby so not a lot of pain tolerence) I was always asked in the hospital they made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Myers wanted to make sure we had our RX before we went home so I had them went I came home.

I thought I would feel different... Meaning my inside... Nothing... I am not hungry for now.. I know that will change.

I am still on liquids but it is fine. I move to pureed foods on the 27th.

It has been a great experience and I owe it all to the medical team at Ohio Health and Fresh Start. They prepared me for this and Dr. Myers is awesome!!!

Any other questions.. fire away.....

Best of Luck to you and praying for a smooth process.

Hey Brad, myself, Wonderling and Tony attend the support group meetings.  The one that is held the 2n d Thursday of every month is held at Kettering Hospital and is chaired by Dr. Rita's staff. It is mostly a social meeting with participants telling about their month, asking questions, and getting to know each other.  Some of us meet prior to the meeting and get a bit to eat; we find out about that on Tony's group Shed and Share.

the other support group meeting is for all WLS patients *(as is the first one) but this one seems to attract more people.  I find it more informative as there is an actual topic which is discussed as well as the social aspect.  That meeting is held on the 3rd Monday of every month.  The next meeting is the 19th and it is held at the WLS  cneter at 1956 E. Whipp Road in Kettering.
The meeting on Monday is Emotional and Relational adjustment following Surgery.   I will defintey be thee and so will Ohiogirl4life and many others.  It is at  7:00 .pm

Hope to meet you in person and see you there.

Hello!!!


I had my surgery with DR. Myers at Fresh Start @ Riverside Hospital in Columbus. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable with my surgeon and went to different progams in central ohio and nothing really felt comfortable to me.

I went to a fresh start seminar and Dr Myers was wonderful! I knew this was the man I wanted to do my surgery. The program is top in the area and I had my surgery 2 weeks ago this Tuesday and doing great!!!

You can send me a message so I can give you more info... as many others would agree he is a great surgeon!!

Topic: Anyone attend the monthly support groups provided by New Life WLS?
So I had surgery with Dr. Rita Anderson in December and I remember them telling me they had monthly support meetings for the patients.  I was wondering if anyone here attends them and what goes on at the meetings?  I haven't went to any kind of support group, as I haven't really felt I needed it, but I was wondering what kinds of things do they discuss at these meetings?  I was also wondering when do they hold them each month?

Thanks in advance!

Topic: The best plastic surgeon in Ohio is....
I don't know.

Looking for info? Going to get abdominoplasty/tummy tuck or whatever it's called (this spring or summer) to remove skin from lower belly.

I want to do it in Ohio to be close for any follow up stuff.

Any suggestions/info would be appreciated

Thank you,

                                  Fred
